Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead

Chapter 296: Chapter 186: Hearing This Kind of Wish for the First Time

Wu Chang gathered the players from his faction and informed them that the Star Jump had already left the Shipwreck Belt and entered the outside world.

Their initial reaction was one of complete confusion.

Wu Chang spoke with such certainty, combined with the strange occurrence they had just felt on the Star Jump, it was easy to guess that its departure from the Shipwreck Belt was surely his doing.

Given their experience in scene strategies, escaping the Shipwreck Belt was clearly a mainline mission difficulty. How did the boss resolve it quietly?

More importantly, they had just experienced a major battle, and the boss had practically soloed the New Cosmos Sect’s BOSS. For any player, they would still be catching their breath by now, so how did the boss manage to sail the Star Jump away?

Are you so good at completing missions, why not become a player?

Before gathering everyone, Wu Chang had already instructed the Great White Shark to set the ship on a cruise, so the other crew temporarily wouldn’t realize the ship had already left the Shipwreck Belt.

Wu Chang glanced at everyone and said:

”I brought you together not to tell you that you’re safe now. Quite the opposite, what I mean to say is that the real battle is about to begin.”

As he spoke, he informed them of the military ship he had observed.

”The intel obtained from Zheng Chengxun, which you all should already know, regardless of the final sacrifice, the Gao Mu Country’s officials will not easily let us survivors escape without resistance.”

”To fight for a chance to survive, we must take the initiative and eliminate this warship first. Therefore, I plan to launch a surprise attack on them overnight.”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone’s interest skyrocketed.

In the ears of the players, this was not just a surprise attack on a warship; it felt more like an exhilarating completion of the scene.

Just let them board the ship; a single warship is hardly enough to resist their combined force.

Wu Chang left the secretary and Cyan Dragon on the ship to maintain order, and at the same time, create the illusion that he was still on the ship.

After making a few preparations, he lowered a lifeboat and rowed with the others towards the direction of the warship.

After experiencing several battles, the players stopped pretending in front of Wu Chang, the ”native,” and pretended to be exchange students, learning excuses from the Revelation Cult.

I’m an exchange student who happened to study abroad and learned the local extraordinary power, quite reasonable, right?

In the combat on the fourth deck, everyone had already showcased various ”local specialties” from different countries and now demonstrated their skills.

Shadow enveloped the ship on one side, ensuring they were hidden from sight and radar detection.

The Great White Shark utilized his captain traits to allow the slow-moving lifeboat to sail at speeds comparable to a speedboat.

Soon enough, they arrived around the warship, and upon actually seeing it, everyone was dumbfounded.

Zheng Chengxun on the ship only mentioned a warship responsible for cleanup, but he didn’t know anything about the type and name of the deployed warship.

Based on Zheng Chengxun’s description of previous warship deployments, Wu Chang and Negotiation Master deduced that a medium-small warship capable of accommodating hundreds of navy personnel was already top-tier.

Before the action, Negotiation Master shared the information with the other players, which fueled their excitement and eagerness to act.

But upon seeing it in person, they realized there was a discrepancy with expectations.

They could understand the Gao Mu Country Navy’s need to ensure the secrecy of the sacrifice and dispatch a warship to silence witnesses.

But dispatching an Amphibian assault ship equivalent to a small aircraft carrier seemed overly extravagant.

The Blue Island amphibian assault ship in front was well-known in the Gao Mu Country, being its largest warship.

Its full load displacement exceeded twenty-five thousand tons, carrying twenty helicopters, over thirteen hundred navy soldiers, twenty armored vehicles, and three hovercraft landing ships.

Wu Chang could confirm that if Gao Mu Country had aircraft carriers, they’d definitely deploy one to silence witnesses.

Sword Star and others’ enthusiasm snapped instantly upon seeing the warship; is this truly a feasible goal to conquer?

They’re Abyssal Game veteran players, practically mini-superhumans outside the game, typically unafraid of ordinary military forces. However, they weren’t in the real world right now.

The Silent Route is a borderline out-of-control A-Level scene; the naval soldiers inside, no matter how weak, had stats equivalent to nearly twenty-level players. Fighting such a skilled military force, charging would be suicide.

A few players were panicking; is the Silent Route’s out-of-control status manifesting in the intent to silence?

Sword Star swallowed nervously and softly said, ”Boss, how about we go back and gather more people?”

Saying ”gather more people” was actually offering Wu Chang an escape route.

If they were just boarding the Star Jump where no battles had occurred, and dozens of players formed a coalition with Secret Ceremony Master, Ma Jia, and Blood Wolf as attack spearheads, perhaps there would be a fighting chance.

But even that was a maybe; the plane rules of Silent Route highly enhanced native technology, and the combat helicopters and armored vehicles used by the navy couldn’t be estimated based on real-world power.

Perhaps bringing Zheng Ruiyuan along, the Star Jump could battle the Blue Island to mutual destruction.

As for now, their high-tier combat strength had either died or run away, leaving only small fry. What’s left to fight?

Quickly pack up and flee on the lifeboat before escaping the Shipwreck Belt.

Sword Star and others were terrified by the Blue Island, but Wu Chang was internally panicking too.

Facing such a behemoth like Blue Island, anyone would be nervous. But abandoning now meant giving up Cui Chengze’s hidden side quest.
